As soon as Zhao Dun said this, everyone stared at Gao Lian in unison, and some people showed dissatisfaction.

Gao Lian had already waved and said, "Come in." He called Zhao Dun and three or four others into the house. At this time, the gentry and people in Beishan were all frightened. When they entered the house, Zhao Dun said straight to the point: "Uncle Gao, is it Gao Huo talking nonsense that has implicated us?"

Although the Zhao family and the Gao family have a close relationship and even have clan relatives, Zhao Dun was furious when he thought that his father was probably implicated by Gao Huo, and he didn't care about any friendship.

Several other people also said, "How can Gao Huo do this? We have never had any connection with any Tianmen Dao. Why did he speak nonsense?"

Gao Lian said with a dark face: "If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense. You are all blaming Gao Huo now, but this is Chu Huan's targeting our Beishan clan."

"Although that's it, if the Chu surnamed Chu was not caught, how dare he attack us easily?" Zhao Dun said in a deep voice: "I heard that Gao Huo kidnapped Chu Huan, what's the mess? Was he crazy?"

Gao Lian knew that the matter was important. If he didn't explain it clearly, the Beishan clan would be divided. He told him what he knew. Everyone looked at each other. Zhao Dun had already frowned and said, "In this way, was Chu Huan deliberately putting a trap on Gao Huo?"

"No." A person next to him immediately said, "You don't know. Just the day before yesterday, I met Gao Huo. He really mentioned the Xifeng Pavilion, which was a small restaurant that had just been opened. Gao Huo happened to pass by Xifeng Pavilion and met the owner's wife of Xifeng Pavilion. He heard that the owner was a coquettish and beautiful woman, and Gao Huo fell in love with her at that time."

"So that's it." A man next to him snorted coldly: "We all know Gao Huo's temperament. He likes Feng Yue and must have the idea of ​​the woman, so he fell into Chu Huan's trap."

"In this way, is the person in the Xifeng Pavilion Chu Huan's person? Otherwise, how could Gao Huo meet Chu Huan in the Xifeng Pavilion?"

Gao Lian sat on the chair, tired and said, "What's the use of saying this now? Everyone has been arrested. Let's find a way to rescue the person."

Zhao Dun clenched his fists and said, "The Chu surname is closely related to the seven surnames of Xiguan. The seven surnames of Xiguan regard us as mortal enemies. Since Chu Huan is in the same group as them, how could he show mercy to our subordinates?" He frowned, "What I worry most now is that Gao Huo is talking nonsense and talking nonsense in the government. If he should force us to push us on the Tianmen Road, the Chu surname will definitely seize this opportunity and attack us."

"Not to mention that it has anything to do with the Tianmen Dao, it is just that Gao Huo kidnapped Chu Huan. This is an incredible crime, which is equivalent to treason." Someone next to him showed a look of horror, "No matter what the reason is, Gao Huo did tie Chu Huan up. Chu Huan is now deliberately using Gao Huo to push us up the Tianmen Dao, obviously to involve us all through this matter... Now the court is connecting with Tianmen Dao in the southeast. What the court hates the most is Tianmen Dao. If this crime is placed on us...!"

The man didn't finish his words, but everyone present couldn't help but shivered.

"What does Lord Dong say?" Zhao Dun stepped forward, "Uncle Gao, we moved to Xiguan in a large-scale manner, but Governor Zhu had guaranteed that the government in Xiguan would guarantee our interests. Dong Shizhen and Dongfang Xin also made a promise at the beginning that when we arrived in Xiguan, we would definitely ensure that we would be smooth sailing. Now that such a big thing has happened, they always have to give us a word."

"I went to the prefecture last night." Gao Lian said: "Dong Shizhen can't come up with a way, she just said she would help us talk, but...!"

"Help us talk?" Zhao Dun sneered: "How to talk for us? Dong Shizhen and Chu Huan are also mortal enemies. How could Chu Huan listen to what he said?"

The others said anxiously: "Are we just waiting to die like this?"

One person had already said: "It's really not possible, so he can only move back to Beishan and cannot stay here anymore."

Gao Lian sneered: "Moving back to Beishan? It's easy to say. If someone surnamed Chu really wants to kill us, what can we do if we move back to Beishan? If we are really charged with rebellion and run to the ends of the world, we will never be able to escape."

"His grandma's, it's really not possible. Let's go to Xiliang." One person couldn't help saying, "Can Chu Huan still run to Xiliang to capture us? At the beginning, the world was in chaos, so many people went to Xiliang to avoid disasters?"

"Run to Xiliang?" Zhao Dun said lightly: "I'm afraid Chu Huan's men had already chopped us up before leaving Yanmen Pass."

"So what about Chu Huan? He has only two hundred people under him." The man next to him sneered: "We have hundreds of servants and guards in total, so it may not be impossible to take a try."

"Although he has only more than 200 people, he can be the royal guards in front of him, one is the one who deserves ten, not to mention that if he really wants to take action, it will be a real rebellion." Zhao Dun frowned and said, "At that time, even Dong Shizhen and Dongfang Xin dare not approach us. Don't forget that they are also people from the court. Although they are mortal enemies with Chu Huan, if we gather people to rebel, they can only stand on Chu Huan's side. If that is true, we will not only deal with the troops under Chu Huan. Dongfang Xin has control over the four camps of Pingxi Army around Shuoquan City. That is 20,000 troops. Together, we are not enough to kill."

"This is not true, that is not true, so what should we do?" A person next to him was furious, "Chu Huan's knife has been cut at us, we can't bend the neck to wait for death..." He looked at Gao Lian with anger, "Uncle Gao, this disaster was caused by your Gao family. You always have to think of a way to let everyone escape this disaster."

Gao Lian looked cold and harsh in his eyes, but he raised his hand and signaled everyone to calm down, and slowly said: "No need to say who caused the disaster now. It's all for this point. It's meaningless to hold who is responsible."

Zhao Dun walked to a chair next to him, sat down and said, "Uncle Gao, then you can think of a way for everyone."

"I went to find Chu Huan last night." Gao Lian said slowly, everyone became nervous immediately, and someone asked, "Have you met Chu Huan? Then... what does he mean?"

"Of course you have heard that you will avoid disaster by losing money." Gao Lian said slowly: "Chu Huan has already suggested that if you lose money, you may avoid disaster."

When everyone heard this, their expressions calmed down a little. Zhao Dun's eyebrows slightly stretched, "Is uncle who said that the person surnamed Chu is a greedy person?"

"At least he won't hate money." Gao Lian said: "You should know that Chu Huan has just set up a yamen called the New Salt Bureau. Chu Huan does not control several yamen in Xiguan now. Most of the yamen are temporarily controlled by the Zhu Party, but the New Salt Bureau was established by Chu Huan. I have inquired about it. There are not many officials in the New Salt Bureau at the moment, and I don't know what to do. It is completely in the hands of Chu Huan..."

"What does this have to do with the New Salt Bureau?"

"I understand now that Chu Huan is a little different from other officials." Gao Lian touched his beard and thoughtful, "Think about it, why did he suddenly set up such a yamen?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Money." Gao Lian said affirmatively: "As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. Last night, I finally understood that the purpose of this Chu's founding of the New Salt Bureau was to make money."

"To make money?"

"No," Gao Lian sneered, "I don't believe that he really wants to do something big in Xiguan. He looks hypocritical. After all, he is just for people to see. His thoughts were leaked last night. He himself was not good at accepting bribes directly, so if you want to make a name, make a name for yourself, and use it for money, the New Salt Bureau is his tool for making money. I sent the house deed and land deed last night, and he didn't dare to collect it, but he hinted that I don't donate the money to the New Salt Bureau... Think about it, what does this mean?"

Zhao Dun clapped his hands and said, "Uncle Gao is worthy of being knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Uncle can see at a glance that Chu Huan set up the New Salt Bureau for the purpose of making money. He did not collect money directly, but asked someone to donate the money to the New Salt Bureau. He set up the New Salt Bureau with him and he controlled it. If the money entered the New Salt Bureau, he would just wait for Chu Huan's pocket. If someone checked it, he would not directly pull it to him..." He couldn't help but sigh: "Chu Huan is young, but he is a master of making money. I really admire him."

The originally tense atmosphere relaxed a lot for a while, but Gao Lian's face was still solemn, saying, "It's just that, it's not good news."

"Why is this?" Zhao Dun said: "As long as it is a problem that can be solved by money, it is no big deal. Now in Xiguan, in terms of financial resources, no one can compare to our Beishan gentry."

"Chu Huan has a big appetite." Gao Lian sighed: "Compared with Chu Huan, the Japanese pirates of Dong Shizhen are really not worth mentioning."

Someone immediately asked, "Chu Huankai's price is very high?"

Zhao Dun said: "I know some of the situations of Chu Huan. This man was an unknown person two years ago. I heard that he started to make a fortune in Yunshan and was born in poverty. Later, he held the thigh of the King of Qi and then rose to prominence. He was used to living a poor life and was greedy for money. However, no matter how big a person has a big appetite, how big can he be? The sum of money from our gentry in Beishan will be enough for him to live for several lifetimes..."

Zhao Dun nodded and said, "No, isn't it just silver? What we need most now is silver. Compared to deducting the charge of rebellion, it's nothing to spend some money. Silver is dead and people live. As long as we escape this time, the economy of Xiguan is still controlled in our hands. We can earn back the money he swallowed in soon... Yes, Uncle Gao, what price did he offer you?"

Gao Lian had a gloomy face and sneered: "He didn't say the price directly, but the meaning was obvious. He wanted to swallow all the property of my Gao family in Xiguan."

When everyone heard this, they changed their color.
